Chapter 1623 Xiaoyu, go down and rest
In the evening, the setting sun is like fire.
The weather in the northwest is very strange. Although the plains are covered with heavy snow and the whole world seems to be covered in white, once the sun comes out, the sunlight shines on the snow and reflects a dazzling light.
For a moment, one feels as if one is on the Flaming Mountain.
Although, the wind is still as cold as a knife.
They galloped on their horses, raising a cloud of snow dust behind them, as if leaving their mark on the vast snowfield.
On the snowy plain, two riders came galloping towards them.
It was the brothers Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian who came here to survey the terrain at the emperor's order.
Although the two of them were only wearing common people's clothes, Zhu Feng greeted Xiao Shunzi before setting off. He also didn't want the imperial concubine's brothers to suffer too much, so Xiao Shunzi gave each of them a fox fur cloak.
One black and one white.
Gu Yiyou has fair skin and an elegant and refined temperament. Wearing a black fox fur cloak, he looks particularly handsome and graceful.
But Tong Sinian is different. He has dark skin and handsome features. He wears a white fox fur cloak, which makes his eyes look clear and his heroic spirit more compelling.
The two men rode their horses up a high slope.
The wind, carrying snow foam, blew across their faces. Although they had been numbed by the cold wind, they could still feel the biting chill of the snow at this time.
However, the two were not afraid at all.
They turned around and looked far into the canyon to the east behind them.
Although they found it hard to believe, they had been traveling for a whole day and according to the general terrain provided by Shazhouwei, that place was the Hot Moon Bend.
Entering the Hot Moon Bay from Shazhouwei, it looks like just a narrow corridor in the valley, but the deeper you go, the deeper it gets. From the only information available, it can be seen that when Ye Zheng entered the Hot Moon Bay before, he encountered their defenders at the first bend, and it was there that he rescued Xue Ling and the other captives.
It is said that if you go deeper, you will reach the mountain road.
Moreover, the mountain road is extremely narrow and rugged, which creates a huge problem. We have no idea how many troops the bandits have stationed there.
Entering easily could easily lead to the same consequences as Ye Zheng did before.
However, the two of them were not in a hurry.
It took them a whole day to get to this place, and of course they couldn't just take a look and leave. So the two of them rode their horses and made a big circle in two directions.
When Gu Yiyou came back, he saw Tong Sinian had returned to the original place.
However, he had dismounted and was using his boots to scrape away the snow around his feet. He had already scraped away a large area, revealing the cold, hard ground beneath.
Gu Yiyou also dismounted and walked over.
"Si Nian."
"You're back."
"What are you looking at?"
"Come and see."
Gu Yiyou walked to his side and looked down, only to see Tong Sinian using his boots to cut through the snow, revealing the terrain underneath, and the sand and gravel could be seen clearly.
The two looked at it carefully for a while.
Then they looked at each other.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from far behind them. Although it was not clear in the vast snowfield, from the sound, it seemed that a group of people were approaching.
But the two men didn't care at all. Their eyes met and without even saying a word, they jumped onto their horses.
Then shake the reins at the same time.
"drive!"
With a shout from the two of them, the horses under them immediately galloped towards the canyon in the southeast like an arrow.
And that group of people ran over.
It wasn't someone else, but a team of soldiers sent by Yang Dai to follow and protect them.
Along the way, Gu and Tong rode their horses at full speed, leaving the group of soldiers far behind. After a lot of effort, they finally caught up and saw two people on the hillside from a distance.
Everyone was overjoyed.
After all, it would be very dangerous to get lost in this wild land, or encounter a pack of wolves that come out to hunt for food in winter. Even if that weren't the case, if some bandits from Hot Moon Bay came out to take advantage of the situation and snatched them away, how would they explain to the Imperial Concubine?
I'm afraid they will all be buried with these two young masters.
So, I hurriedly followed him.
But when I ran up, I found that the two people had left again.
Two figures, one black and one white, rushed away in the snow dust.
“This, this—”
The leader was a young and clever soldier named Zhao Daxi. He was furious and anxious, muttering, "These two young masters are simply bullying us!"
The soldier behind them gasped for breath, but could only say, "Forget it, forget it, hurry up and catch up. We finally saw them. If we lose them again, the imperial concubine will be angry."
"Yeah, hurry up and follow."
"Hurry up!"
So, the group quickly followed the two figures and Zhao Daxi's aggrieved cry echoed across the wasteland.
"You two, wait for us!"

In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Nan Yan stood under the eaves, looking at the sky above her head.
The stars are shining.
Although such a starry sky can be seen in the capital and Jinling, for some reason, perhaps because it is particularly cold here and the wind is particularly biting, the bright starlight looks particularly beautiful.
Precious even.
As she was watching, a thick cloak was put on her body.
Looking back, she saw Ran Xiaoyu had come over at some point. She took out her clothes and put them on her, complaining, "You are such a fool, my lady. You act so recklessly when I'm not with you. It's so cold here, how can you stand outside in such thin clothes?"
Nan Yan smiled.
I didn't respond to her because I knew that if I did, she would scold me.
He only asked, "Where is Ye Zheng?"
"Still over there."
“…”
The implication is that he is not awake.
Although Nan Yan also knew that he had been in a coma for such a long time, even if Wang Baizhi was Hua Tuo, it would be impossible for him to jump back up all of a sudden, but seeing him unconscious like this, she was always worried.
However, Ran Xiaoyu was not completely immersed in that sad mood.
People like her, no matter how sad they are, will first do what they can.
So, after taking care of Ye Zheng during the day, she had to come back to take care of Nan Yan at night. Seeing Nan Yan standing under the eaves for half a day with cold hands and feet, she immediately went to get some hot water for her to wash. Feeling that she was still a little cold, she got another bucket of hot water for her to soak her feet.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Aren't you tired? Go and take a rest."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "This servant is not tired."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zhu Feng walking in from outside.
Ran Xiaoyu kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng nodded: "Yeah."
Nan Yan's feet were still soaked in the hot water bucket. She didn't know whether to stand or not. Her pair of white and tender feet were even more dazzling in the water.
Zhu Feng took a look.
Then he said, "Xiaoyu, go down and have a rest."
